Clash of the Warriors

SKU: CF.CPS266

ISBN 9781491161296. UPC: 680160919888.

Clash of the Warriors is loosely based upon the Bulgarian folk song Kaval Sviri. The composer's vision was to create a musical depiction of two warriors getting ready and ultimately battling each other. The introduction should be mysterious and ominous. To create the open fifth interval slide effect, the trombone glissandi in measures 2-3 should be emphasized, and the suggested slide positions followed. At Rehearsal 10, the timpani, marimba, and tambourine will control the pulse and diminuendo to Rehearsal 18, where the woodwinds have the melody. Rehearsal 38 should be bold and energetic, whereas Rehearsal 57 should be light with a driving pulse. The Rehearsal 92 9/8 section should be conducted in four (2+2+2+3) and set up the warrior's battle clash. Rehearsal 109 represents the 'clash' of the warriors where they will ultimately battle against one another, represented by the three measure motivic tradeoffs. Finally, rehearsal 129 to the end is the soundtrack for the final conflict for the warriors. I hope you and your ensemble enjoy performing Clash of the Warriors..
